Differential effect of surfactant and its saturated phosphatidylcholines on human blood macrophages

Differential effect of surfactant and its saturated phosphatidylcholines on human blood macrophages

Blood monocyte-derived macrophages invading the alveolus encounter pulmonary surfactant, a phospholipoprotein complex that changes composition during lung development. We tested the hypothesis that characteristic phosphatidylcholine (PC) components differentially influence macrophage phenotype and f...
